Naval Institute Press
Embodying our founding principles, Navy Commander and prize-winning Proceedings author Jeff Vandenengel has dared “to read, think, speak, and write” in his provocative new book, Questioning the Carrier. Jeff postulates that today’s technologies provide opportunities to move beyond the limitations of a carrier-centric fleet by redesigning its force structure.
“Questioning the Carrier skillfully uses naval history and current events to conduct a holistic review of the aircraft carrier’s ability to lead the U.S. Navy against our nation’s adversaries.”
—Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret.), former Supreme Allied Commander, NATO, and Commander, U.S. European Command
